It is time to bring students back to campus. With the 2020-2021 school year in the rearview mirror and things returning to some semblance of normal, it is essential to welcome students back and encourage school spirit. In this post, we outline the steps schools should take for developing a promotional product strategy for their school and the top ideas for promotional giveaways for the 2021-2022 school year. 

How to Develop a School Promotional Product Giveaway

·         Determine your goal

From creating excitement for returning to school to introducing new policies, there are many good reasons to host a promotional product giveaway. The first step to any successful promotional product event is establishing the goal of your event. Do you want to create excitement for back to school? Are you trying to create awareness for new school COVID procedures? Are you ensuring your students are equipped for the start of the school year? Pinpointing the goal of your giveaway will help you select the right promotional products. 

·         Select the right promotional products

There are countless options when it comes to selecting promotional products. However, the nature of your giveaway should determine which products you ultimately select. Choosing the right promotional product for the occasion can bring a lot of attention to your cause. 

·         Excite and impress

When giving out promotional products, you are doing more than handing out items – you are communicating your school’s brand and culture to your community at large. Be sure to excite and impress your school community with the right products.
